Suggest you ask the store.

normally at work during their hours and have been checking the website but thanks for your help

I doubt there will be any new stock before December.

Our old licensing agreement only just expired, from my understanding. That means production on the new merchandise would have only just started, and with Chinese New Year approaching fast, there is also a big chance we won't be seeing anything before next year. Factories are a nightmare this time of year.

Good Morning Luke, We will be launching a pre order campaign on the website soon for the new jumpers, with delivery in late November. Kind Regards,Maddie Maddie Stewart | Customer Relations

That's a reply from the club about new jumpers.

That's good news. I wear New Balance runners and now I can be supporting a sponsor.

I was advised by the MFC store that at least the new jumpers will be available for purchase well before Christmas.

with Chinese New Year approaching fast

...in February?

I'm by no means an expert in this fields so perhaps you could clear it up for me. If we knew we'd be signing with New Balance some time ago, why couldn't manufacturing have already started?

Well I'm not an expert on licensing so I don't know exactly how it works, but the club said the jumpers will be in before Christmas, which means December, which was roughly the time frame I was thinking of.

With CNY you have to understand that most factory employees live on site, so around this time they leave to go home. And it's not just factories which are affected by CNY, it's fabric mills, the ports, it's even small things like the factories that make the labels for example. I have no idea what New Balance's situation is like, but it is definitely a struggle getting orders in before CNY unless you have been supremely organised.

Obviously New Balance have, because if the jumpers are going to be in stock pre Christmas, they should be on vessel now. That means production would have started (and I'm only guessing here) 7/8 weeks ago depending on volumes. New Balance would have booked the factory space quite a while back, but because all AFL merchandise are licensed to the AFL and because we had a contract with another supplier, I assume that actual production wouldn't have started until the previous contract ran out. This would have given us time to sell out the old product, and time for the AFL to sign all the right documents.

Also given we have a new emblem, the actual design process probably took a little longer, as we would have had to approve several strike offs.

The club is very smart in getting probably the most popular merchandise item into stores pre Christmas, and I'm sure the rest of the product will trickle through between now and the start of the NAB Cup.

Hopefully the price doesn't go up even more!

The bigger sport stores like Rebel etc actually bullied the smaller stores (The AFL store) into raising their prices last year on the club guernseys. They are mind-numbingly expensive and go out of date every other year.

What were they threatening them with, loss of competitive edge? I don't understand it.

Well you know what they say, "turn to the left, fashion- turn to to the right, fashion. Ooh bop, fashion."

I wasn't aware They said that.

you should buy at the melbourne shop which is cheaper and the money goes to MFC

Not enough Bowie fans on this forum.

And yes, buy from the club website to maximize our profit.

Would love to see the club go back to Asics at some stage, they produced the best clash jumper I've ever seen and some great merch.

Im not really a fan of this new jumper. dont like the yoke starting so high. Prefered it when it started lower under the arm with more red.Had, for me, more impact. Still, thats life.

Some sh!t, different wrapper.

And are you trying to flatter me?

Your avatar is eerily similar...

eh? me either. however i think that you are referring to the china jumper - which i didnt like either for this very reason - but that it was also a one off. ill be alarmed if it is shrunk come next year though.

Like the emblem, couldn't care less if a poster has internet cyber dibs on it or not. And surely it could only be considered flattery if you designed it, which you didn't.

Wow, Dibs on the team logo. Jeepers, im just shocked how the two of you stumbled across the same image. I suggest a battle to the death for ownership

Imitation is the flattery, Deez Nutz.

There really should be some form of quality control when it comes to names.

Mine is incoherent to all, but then there is 'Demons nickname / genitalia.'

Anyhoo...

I'm fairly sure 'Deez Nutz' are a relatively unknown metal/hardcore band from SA(?).

I would think that's where he got his name from.
